Students are able to participate in an outstanding range of co-curricular activities. We benefit from truly world-class resources and facilities that offer a multitude of activities.
Performing Arts is about expressing humanity in its most direct form.
We aim to provide a platform on which relevant, real-life learning can occur in Music, Dance and Drama.
The college provides up to 30 different sports. Students are encouraged to participate in sport throughout their time at the college. With an extensive range of sports on offer and with a focus on long-term healthy lifestyle choices, students are pushed to unlock their potential and expand their talents.

Recently, our Piki Ake students undertook an adventurous journey to the Pinnacles as a part of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary Award. Thirteen Year 10 students successfully completed the tramp in the Coromandel, reaching the summit height of 759 m. After their expedition up a gruelling track, they were rewarded with clear skies and stunning 360-degree views of the Kaimai ranges, Tairua, and the Coromandel.
Thank you to our partners at the Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary Award New Zealand. @dukeofednz
